Hail Caesar!

[user76023]

Jesse Duangrudeesawat raised preflop and Tuni Rafaele pushed all-in, Caesar Chavez called as did Duangrudeesawat.

The flop was {2-Hearts}

and Chavez moved in, Duangrudeesawat folded and Rafaele looked worried turning over {K-Clubs}

. Chavez showed {A-Hearts}

and Rafaele was drawing dead on the {6-Spades}

turn. The river, a meaningless {5-Hearts}

meant the latter was out in 18th place.

Stephanie Donahue is out in 19th place, unsuccessfully racing {A-Diamonds}

Not Quite a Teen

MarcC

Out in 20th place is David Hecht. Short stacked he decided to push from UTG with {6-Hearts}

and was looked up by the big blind with {J-?}

.

Neither player hit, so jack-high was enough to take the pot and bust one more.

The Hand That Turned into a Killer

MarcC

An UTG raise to 9,000 from Steve Ludwick was met with two callers before the flop brought {5-Spades}

.

It was checked to Ludwick who bet 16,000. Only Casey Kuhn called in the cut-off before the turn came {A-Spades}

. In a betting frenzy, the two players' remaining chips were in the middle and the cards were on their backs.

Ludwick turned a set with {A-Diamonds}

, but Kuhn had turned the nuts with {10-Spades}

.

Ludwick needed the board to pair to stay alive, but the river came {J-Diamonds}

to seal his fate. Kuhn raked in a very nice sized pot, putting him up to 226,000 in chips.

On the Case...

[user76023]

Casey Kuhn has just knocked out Ryan McNeel. The money looked to have gone in on the flop of {J-?}

, McNeel holding {10-Hearts}

but Kuhn flipped {K-Clubs}

and avoided a ten on the {4-?}

turn and

river.
